Trust Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's interdental space. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of the bits. Today we would like to present the Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail:

The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron 2.5 Ring Snaffle 16mm 14.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a snaffle. The bit has a size of 14.5 centimeters.

Bit Thickness

This mouthpiece size is generally suitable for very large warmbloods.

Side Piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage, and elevating action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached in the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

Snaffle

The snaffle mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A snaffle mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The snaffle mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits are designed so that surface rust forms when they come into contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
